Uğur was the best

Aine_M, May 2025

Uğur was excellent, it was not just a good tour but also a historic information tour. He was so helpful and informative and the food was great!

A Wonderful Experience

Danielle_T, Jun 2024

I loved my experience with Özkan. He’s a great tour guide. He showed my cousin and I a lot of cool places that matched our interests and was a quick thinker. I did the tour during Eid and a lot of things were closed which presented difficulties for him but he figured it out and as a result, we were able to have a great time. He tailored the tour of foods to try based on our preferences. I had the best mantı ever, tried Raki for the first time, tried a lot of new and a lot of things I already loved. I loved the trip across the Bosphorus and how patient he was with us when we kept stopping for pictures and videos. I would do another tour with him when I visit Turkey again!
